There is a new show on HDNet, "Dan Rather Reports", and it is quite good, at least based on the first [or possibly second] episode. Dan Rather is out in the field, doing investigative journalism, and with an hour show and given that it airs weekly, he is able to attain a depth and breadth unattainable to him as a network anchor. Check it out if you've got HDNet, it airs Tuesday at 5pm.
The episode I saw was all about the subject of our treatment of our troops when they come home: VA funding, PTSD therapies, Foreign nationals in the Army (or other branch), amputees/artificial limbs, veterans running for office, etc. I'm sure it'll be on again, that channel recycles content constantly.
Dan Rather Reports
"When I first talked to Mark Cuban, he told he that he was prepared to give me total, complete and absolute editorial and creative control. Now stop and think about that for a moment: do you know any journalists past and present (with such an arrangement)?"
-Dan Rather
"We're thrilled that Dan is now part of HDNet. Now that he is finally released from the ratings driven and limited depth confines of broadcast television, I am excited about the impact Dan can have on the future of news."
-Mark Cuban
